Adaptive Sliding Mode Control for High-Frequency Sampled-Data Systems with Actuator Faults

This paper investigates the sliding mode control for high-frequency sampled-data systems with actuator faults. Besides matched nonlinearity, this paper also considers unmeasurable states and unknown actuator degradation ratio as important factors of the overall system. The estimates of system state vector are obtained by an adaptive sliding mode observer method firstly. Then, a novel integral-type sliding surface, corresponding to the unified closed-loop delta operator system, is provided based on aforementioned estimation values, and the fault closed-loop system is proven to be stable by the proposed sliding mode control law. Finally, the fault-tolerant control theory is verified to be valid via a practical simulation example
